NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Coach Ken Hitchcock and the St. Louis Blues have come to expect the exceptional from Jake Allen.
The streaking goalie made 24 saves for his second straight shutout, Martin Havlat scored against his former team and the Blues beat the New Jersey Devils 2-0 on Tuesday night.
"He's been playing good, but I can say that every night," Hitchcock said. "He's been solid. He's been that way for a while. He's been aggressive in net, and that's a good thing."
Allen, coming off a career-high 45 saves in a 4-0 win Saturday over Nashville, had an easier time against New Jersey.
